Pushing yourself to save can be a challenge, but more and more consumers are tallying up their monthly expenses to find they have nothing left to save anyway. A recent study shows 58% of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck in May, up from 54% the same month last year. Of those earning $50,000 to $100,000, about 62% were stuck in this cycle. But it’s not just lower-income groups struggling to foot the bills, according to the report produced by payments and commerce platform PYMNTS… Source link

MIAMI — Being a three-time NBA champion of the Miami Heat, there’s a level of cachet that follows and it would be easy to fall victim to entitlement. One scene during the second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers highlighted Udonis Haslem’s egoless mentality. Toward the end of a timeout with one minute remaining before players had to take the court again, four Heat starters had already left the bench. Bam Adebayo was the lone starter still resting in his seat. Haslem… Source link

For the fourth time in as many games in the Eastern Conference finals, one team blitzed the other, and one of the strangest best-of-seven series in recent NBA memory is somehow headed back to Miami tied, 2-2. The Miami Heat missed their first 14 shots on Monday night, scored the fewest points (one) through the first nine minutes of a playoff game this century and could not recover in a 102-82 loss to the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum led five Celtics in double figures with 31 points, eight… Source link

The Celtics are again 6.5-point favorites for Game 4 in what becomes a critical game for them. Boston is capable of coming back from 3-1 deficit in the Eastern Conference finals, with two games remaining in Miami, but that’s a road they’d rather… Source link
